شواهد حاكی از آن است كه لاریجانی و احمدی‌نژاد به دستور مستقیم خامنه‌ای از دیدار با هیئت اعزامی كشورهای ۱+۵ سر باز زده‌اند. این كنترل شدید از بالا بیانگر این است كه از دید آقای خامنه‌ای روابط با غرب به مرحله حساسی رسیده است>>>

BLOCKADE

Declaring war with Iran?

U.S. Congressional resolution requires naval blockade of Iran

17-Jun-2008 (51 comments)
A U.S. House of Representatives resolution effectively requiring a naval blockade on Iran seems fast tracked for passage, gaining co-sponsors at a remarkable speed, but experts say the measures called for in the resolutions amount to an act of war. H.CON.RES 362 calls on the president to stop all shipments of refined petroleum products from reaching Iran. It also “demands” that the President impose “stringent inspection requirements on all persons, vehicles, ships, planes, trains and cargo entering or departing Iran.” Analysts say that this would require a US naval blockade in the Strait of Hormuz. Since its introduction three weeks ago, the resolution has attracted 134 cosponsors. Forty-three members added their names to the bill in the past two days. >>>

شاپرک

شاپرکهای جوانم هیچ تصوری از پرواز و رهایی و آزادی ندارند و به پروانه های سنجاق شده در قاب تبدیل شده اند

دوست جوانی از ایران برگشته است؛ او بی خبر دیشب آمده بود به محل کارم تا غافلگیرم کند. از دیدنش خوشحال و غافلگیر شدم و خلاصه اول از همه از "ایران" پرسیدم. از گرانی برنج حرفی نزد ولی با خوشحالی گفت: "خبر دارین که دیه زن و مرد برابر شد؟" لبم را گاز گرفتم که جوش نیاورم چون این دختر جوان از تولیدات پس از جمهوری اسلامی است. بیست و چند ساله است و جز جمهوری اسلامی چیزی به چشم ندیده، کودکی اش در سالهای سیاه جنگ بوده و در سالهای پس از جنگ، احتمالاً تازه نفس راحت و بی دغدغه ای کشیده اند و حالا هم با نگاهی مطابق با آن موازین دارد به مسایل می نگردد. "یواش یواش داره درست می شه" خیال جوش آوردن در برابر سنجاقک شکننده را نداشتم چون او مرا به سالهای پر شور خودم می اندازد و توی چشمانش چیزی است شبیه خواهرم مرجان. اینجا اسمش را می گذارم: "شاپرک"! >>>

EQUALITY

No dignity, no justice

New crackdown on women's activists

17-Jun-2008 (3 comments)
While the global community marks the 60th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights with a year long celebration of “Dignity and Justice for All “ there is neither dignity nor rights or justice for women in Iran. On June 12th for the occasion of the third anniversary of National Day of Solidarity of Iranian Women, nine women's rights activists were arrested outside of the Rahe Abrisham (Silk Road) Gallery just prior to a small, peaceful assembly planned to commemorate the day. Aida Saadat, Nahid Mirhaj, Nafiseh Azad, Nasrin Sotoodeh, Jelve Javaheri, Jila Baniyagoub, Sarah Loghmani, Farideh Ghaeb, were arrested by Tehran security police along with photographer and reporter Aliyeh Mohtalebzadeh.>>>

DIET

Challenging Bridget Jones

I have now begun my 6th week of dieting and haven’t cheated even once, yet...

My bid to pour myself into a suitably va-va-voom “Knock-em-dead” party dress for an event this summer, continues unphazed. “I’ll show him” I think… “Him” is the dreaded Ex… Breaker of hearts, king of all tale-tellers and my sole reason (initially) for embarking on a diet… In the unrealistic hope of showing him what he is missing. Fully aware that my motivation is pathetic, predictable and the embodiment of Bridget Jones herself, I carry on regardless in a flurry of blind idiocy… Although I still hold one small pearl of wisdom that I find comforting and that is that no matter what impression I leave with The Ex, when all is said and done, it is myself I am doing this for now and no one else>>>
